Roof problems on Groves building
Bluffton emergency personnel were called to Groves' Bear store, 204 N Main St., at mid-morning on Feb.18. Robin Wilch, owner of the business, entered the store and discovered that the roof was not holding up in the center of the building. This was apparently due to the heavy snow fall this past week. She called the Bluffton fire department. The department closed off Main Street from Church to Elm. An investigation is underway.
There was some concern that the front of the building may collapse due to the roof problems. This photo, taken from the third floor of the town hall, reveals that in the middle of the roof snow may be two to three feet in depth.
Wilch was able to removed several items from the business prior to the fire department being called to the scene.
